Flight Bidding

[Greg Goodavish]

"Just an observation about the flight bidding under the new system. With the elimination of regions, it appears captains with less seniority on the captain's list can only bid after many of the first officers have already bid. So a person that made captain just recently has less choices of flights than many of the first officers. Something to look at, maybe? "

Not so. The Captain and F/O lists are separate and their bids are separate. When an F/O bids on a flight, that flight becomes unavailable to other F/O's but it is still available to Captains. Each flight can have 1 Captain and 1 F/O."

"Speaking of Bidding, I never got E-mail notification of the bids being open."

I already have that 401K all to myself. It looks like we're having a problem with the email system. I did get an email saying the bids are open after I sent it to all pilot but there are other emails that didn't reach me. Tomas may need to talk to our ISP about this."

We're too late... now we will be street urchins the rest of our lives....no 401k.
